Introduction
This experiment demonstrates how to use the ESP8266 Wi-Fi module to scan for available Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity.
Materials Required
- ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module
- Arduino IDE
No Ads Available.
Circuit Diagram
No additional components are required for this experiment besides the ESP8266 module itself.
Steps for the Experiment
- Write a program to scan for available Wi-Fi networks using the ESP8266.
- Upload the program to the ESP8266 and open the Serial Monitor in Arduino IDE.
- The Serial Monitor should display a list of available Wi-Fi networks.
Explanation
The ESP8266 is capable of scanning for nearby Wi-Fi networks and returning information such as SSID, signal strength, and encryption type.
Results and Observations
- A list of nearby Wi-Fi networks, including their SSID, signal strength, and encryption details, should appear in the Serial Monitor.
